Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff forgot to add two important drugs to her care plan, even though they had been ordered by UPMC Hospital. One of the drugs was aspirin for its blood thinning properties. After not receiving the two prescribed drugs for 9 days, my mother developed pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis.”
“The nurses and aids are wonderful. They are overworked and underpaid. Always short on help. Your loved one cant be taken care of properly. Gave my uncle expired medications.”
“A beautiful building that's kept up. They seem to redo rooms keep them up. Lovely volunteers with activities”
